An initiative of the Lalor Foundation, the Anna Lalor Burdick Program seeks to educate young women about human reproduction in order to broaden and enhance their options in life.

The program focuses particularly on young women who have inadequate access to information regarding reproductive health, including the subjects of contraception and pregnancy termination, and as such may be particularly lacking options in their lives.

The funding program emphasizes support for projects that demonstrate realistic plans to achieve greater financial self-sufficiency; support for new or smaller organizations, including grassroots efforts; support for collaborative efforts among nonprofit organizations; and support for new ideas, initiatives, and demonstration projects that may be successfully replicated or provide multiple benefits. The program has no geographic limits.

The program annually awards a small number of grants in the range of $10,000 to $50,000 each. Grants are generally awarded for one year only.

Eligible U.S. applicants must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Code and defined as “not a private foundation” under section 509(a) of the Code. Applicants not located in the U.S. and not already classified by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service should contact the foundation office for further information.

Concept papers are accepted twice a year. For the November 1 deadline, concept papers may be submitted between September 1 and November 1. For the May 15 deadline, concept papers may be submitted between March 15 and May 15.

Complete program guidelines are available at the Lalor Foundation Web site.
